When Jean-Luc Picard awakens on a Borg Cube dressed as a 1940s detective, he’s convinced he’s trapped in a bizarre dream—or a malfunctioning holodeck programme. Joined by Guinan, equally out of place in vintage attire, Picard is thrust into a mystery: two Borg drones have died under suspicious circumstances. As Picard and Guinan investigate, they uncover a trail leading to a most unlikely suspect—a partially assimilated cat, courtesy of Data’s well-meaning gift. Blending classic whodunnit intrigue with Star Trek’s signature wit and heart, this story explores individuality, redemption, and the chaos that ensues when a feline joins the collective. Will Picard solve the case before the Borg Cube succumbs to further feline mayhem?
